640 vs 650 with benchmarks

Microsoft Lumia 640 vs Lumia 650 comparison: is it worth the upgrade? [Update]

Great find.

However, pure facts won't sway the emotionally motivated "650 is a downgrade" argument. I'm getting kind of anxious for this thing to hit the US.

As soon as I saw that Rich Woods is the author, I got excited...and then I read it. lol.

Seriously, I like this guy because of the way he reviews things. I really enjoyed how he got camera samples for various times of day and just general testing. Benchmarks don't mean much to me though. I also like how he touched the point that everyone said about the AT&T 640 being x amount of money, that everyone seems to keep saying over and over.

Since this includes benchmarks, for ease of discussion and I found a page with Antutu benchmarks for the Neo NuANS (SD617 - octa-core Cortex-A53) and added the numbers I get on my Icon. Will be interesting what scores my Win HD LTE with the SD410 gets with it's quad-core Cortex-A53 when W10m is available on it. The GPU score on the 640 seems abnormally low, the GFXBench numbers are much closer together. I'm not familiar with antutu, is the 3D score comparable with different resolution screens or is the 1080p screen on the Icon hurting it's score?
